This sums up the cognitive dissonance of the religous right quite succinctly :leon:

Officers Who Shot 12-Year-Old Holding Toy Gun Refused To Give Him First Aid

The Cleveland officers who shot a 12-year-old boy holding a toy gun then failed to give him first aid for nearly four minutes. The boy was finally administered first aid when a detective and FBI agent arrived at the scene.

But it was too late. The boy, Tamir Rice, died after being transported to the hospital.

According to newly surveillance video, Rice was shot by the officers within two seconds of their arrival at the scene.


A department spokesman told a local ABC station he “was unsure of the policy related to how and when officers are required to provide medical assistance.” The officers’ conduct is “under investigation.”

The officers believed that the 12-year-old Rice was a “black male” who appeared “about 20.”

The family is outspoken in their belief that their son’s death was avoidable, had the police officers acted appropriately. The U.S. Justice Department has an ongoing investigation into the Cleveland Police “over allegations of excessive and unreasonable deadly force.”

well you know if he dies, he can't come up in court looking all thuggish asking for reparations

Obviously he will be commended for his quick decision making

was race not part of the picture when?
It matters when it matters other times it doesn't. I'm saying I don't know nor have I been presented with enough information to make an informed decision about THIS particular case. White cop shoots black person doesn't always have to be about race.

there are times when things like this are about race, as of yet i'm not sure that's what this is.

2nd. It's pretty clear that cops have issues with race, not so clear is if that is applicable in this case.

like i said, to put it on race you have to ignore all of tamir's behavior prior to the shooting,



PS:
tamir's behavior was completely nuts and extremely dangerous before the cops got there, the whole situation of him even being there in a park by himself is mind boggling
a 12 yo running around with a toy gun is completely nuts:jawalrus:
